- Education
Excerpt: "In order to attract, maintain and build quality jobs and a strong economy in Virginia, we need to have an educated workforce on par with or better than our global competitors. According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, pre-kindergarten education not only has been shown to improve student performance in the short term, but it has also been proven to be a high-yield economic investment in the long term, providing a strong foundation for a global, knowledge-based economy."

- Equality
Excerpt: "When I decided to enter this race, one of the motivators was the fact that LGBT individuals and families in the Commonwealth are treated as second class citizens. I'm proud not only to support but also be an active member of groups such as Arlington Gay & Lesbian Alliance, Human Rights Campaign, LGBT Democrats of Virginia and Virginia Partisans, and the Arlington Young Democrats LGBT Caucus."

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A federal judge in Mississippi has approved a plea agreement that will allow a former University of Alabama basketball player to avoid prosecution in a kidnapping case if he stays out of trouble for two years.
U.S. District Judge William Barbour in Jackson approved the deferred prosecution for Devonta Pollard during a hearing Tuesday.
Prosecutors offered the 19-year-old Pollard the deal in exchange for testimony against his mother, Jesse Mae Brown Pollard, who was convicted last month.
Jesse Pollard was convicted last month of orchestrating a plot to kidnap a 6-year-old relative in a dispute over a piece of land and a portable storage shed in east Mississippi.
The girl was abducted in April from East Kemper Elementary School and released unharmed the next day.
Devonta Pollard recently enrolled at East Mississippi Community College.

Yellowjackets | |
Origin | Los Angeles, California, United States |
Genres | Jazz fusion,[1] smooth jazz[1] |
Years active | 1981–present |
Labels | Warner Bros., MCA, GRP, Yellowjackets Enterprises, Heads Up Int., Mack Avenue |

Members | Russell Ferrante Bob Mintzer Will Kennedy Dane Alderson |
Past members | Jimmy Haslip Ricky Lawson Robben Ford Michael Landau Marc Russo Peter Erskine Terri Lyne Carrington Marcus Baylor |
Yellowjackets is an American jazz fusion quartet.
Formed in 1977 and known originally as the Robben Ford Group, the eventually-named Yellowjackets consisted of Robben Ford, Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip and Ricky Lawson, all top-notch L.A. session musicians. Ford had originally assembled this lineup to record his 1979 solo album The Inside Story which was released under the name of Robben Ford. During this initial period the band's sound combined elements of blues, jazz fusion, and progressive rock with Ford contributing vocals. Over the next year the group began moving in a more democratic direction; eliminating Ford's vocals and embracing a more commercially oriented jazz-funk approach overall, the band signed with Warner Bros. as Yellowjackets. Ford, however, was still signed to a separate record contract with Elektra and ended up listed as a guest artist on the band's 1981 debut under the Yellowjackets name. During the tour to support the album the lineup was augmented by second guitarist Michael Landau. Eventually Ford was replaced by saxophone player Richard Elliot who appeared only on the "Mirage a Trois" album before switching places in 1984 with Tower of Power alto saxophonist Marc Russo. Drummer Ricky Lawson left in 1986 to tour with Lionel Richie. Select Yellowjackets songs were featured on The Weather Channel's Local on the 8s segments, with the Ferrante composition "Matinee Idol" being the most well-known.
While Yellowjackets made their 1981 debut as a jazz-fusion band that highlighted guitarist Robben Ford, the group's sound became more R&B-oriented after Ford's departure with Marc Russo's crisp alto saxophone and soaring high-register solos. With original members Russell Ferrante on keyboards and electric bassist Jimmy Haslip, and new drummer William Kennedy, the band found its own R&B-ish sound, sometimes playing original compositions that sounded like Joe Zawinul at his most melodic.
Starting out on Warner Brothers in the early '80s, the Yellowjackets moved to MCA/GRP in 1986, where they released a string of well-received albums. They also appeared with two songs on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. They are frequently on stage at festivals like Indy Jazz Fest.[2]
In the '90s, Russo chose to go out on his own and plays regularly with The Doobie Brothers, and his replacement, Bob Mintzer (on tenor and bass clarinet), added more jazz credibility to the group's music. They moved back to Warner Brothers in 1995 for several albums before moving to the Heads Up label for the live two-CD set Mint Jam in 2002. 2003 saw the release of their first studio album in five years, Time Squared. Three years later, the band celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary as an ensemble with the release of the live album Twenty Five.
In May 2008, the Yellowjackets released their 20th release, Lifecycle, also on HeadsUp International. Lifecycle features guitarist and label-mate Mike Stern, making it the first Yellowjackets record in 15 years to feature guitar (1994's Run For Your Life featured Robben Ford on the track Even Song). The album has been nominated for the 2009 GRAMMY Awards in the category of Best Contemporary Jazz Album. Russell Ferrante has also been nominated in the category of Best Instrumental Composer for the track "Claire's Closet."
On January 30, 2012, Felix Pastorius announced on the social media website, Facebook, that he will be replacing original bassist Jimmy Haslip for about a year. "I guess its official, I'm a yellowjacket!"[3] Pastorius stated in his Facebook post, he said that Haslip is "healthy and happy and just wanted to take the year off to focus on other things…". Consequently, in June, 2013, this new constellation released a new studio album, A Rise in the Road, with Felix Pastorius on bass – on some of the tracks actually playing Jaco Pastorius' original fretless bass, loaned from its current owner, Metallica's Robert Trujillo.[4]

Battery Life OS 126.96.36.1998
I know battery issues are mentiined on a lot of posts and I have never had any issues with mine, but I have noticed since the upgrade my battery seems to be draining somewhere around twice as fast. Anyone know of any tricks or options that can varify or improve the its performane?
I have not installed any new apps or used my playbook in a different manner since the upgrade.
thanks CB nation. -
Re: Battery Life OS 220.127.116.118
Like many here, I have found the opposite, and get a lot more battery life. But i know some people have also talked about battery drain. Do a search and see if you can find anything, but I don't think there has been any real reasons found.
Re: Battery Life OS 184.108.40.2068
I've also had terrible battery drain with the new OS. The other day I put the PB in standby mode with 80% battery and took it out 5 hours later with 15% battery.
Im sure someone will chime in with a trick like turning off wifi or bluetooth, resetting it 6 times while standing on your head and whistiling the dixie, unistalling and reinstalling angry birds. The reality is it's just another thing to add to the "crap that RIM can't get straightened out and thusly will never be a credible tablet company" file. - 10-27-12, 10:44 AM #4
Re: Battery Life OS 22.214.171.1248
The biggest thing I found that drains battery is Android apps launching themselves and running in the background. I find as much as a dozen at times.
What I do is use a memory eating app to crash the Android player although when I need it again I'll have to wait for it to boot. - 10-28-12, 01:31 PM #6
Re: Battery Life OS 184.108.40.2068
Same thing with me. I notice wifi activity with no apps running and with bt off and wifi on. Battery doesn't last a day. I can't wait to be rid of this and hop onto bb10. Hopefully these types of bugs are gone for good.

Re: Battery Life OS 220.127.116.118
Strange thing today is that I've been using my playbook off and on for 6 hours or so. Wifi on and bridge connected (same as always). And now it seems to be back to the way it was before .1088 (only down to 72%).
I know it should be unlikely but it shut down a few times over the weekend due to low battery and maybe reset a background app or something that was draining the battery.
Thanks for the comments and advise, now back to my CrackBooking. - 10-28-12, 01:51 PM #8
Re: Battery Life OS 126.96.36.1998
Battery lasts a full days worth of mixed usage. Usually I can go at least 2 full days without charging. Sometimes a little over 3 days but that's only with light usage. Everyone has different uses and different apps installed, hence the large variations. Things to check are to make sure manual sync in the email settings have been turned off. Apparently they fixed it but it's worth the time to take a look into that.
Thanked by:Merboy6969 (10-28-12)
I hadn't had any issues with battery life with the most current OS release, battery life had been good, and easily lasted a couple days with light use. However the last two nights my playbook was 100% charged when i went to bed and when I woke up it was showing battery alarm and at 5%. I don't recal adding any apps recently and no apps were running in the background. Everything was closed and only the home screen was up after waking from standby? Anyone else have strange battery life issue like that? Or ideas on what to try?

Well, you could try some of the restart methods just in case something went ODD. Do you have any Android apps? Native email? Those have sometimes acted up.
To fix an issue, try these in order:
Restart using the Battery Icon and press Restart
Press and hold the Power button for 10-15 seconds. Then leave it for 20-30 seconds and see if it restarts.
To REBOOT:
Press and HOLD all three keys for about 10 - 20 seconds: PowerOn, VolUp and VolDown. Start with the PowerButton. Keep holding past the 3-choice options screen. If you hear a shutter type sound, you've taken a Screen Shot and probably missed the PowerButton. - 11-15-12, 09:53 PM #12
So pre-latest OS update, I had native email setup w/my hotmail account. When Microsoft switched (to Outlook.com I think it was) my battery drained massively to where i had to turn off wifi. After the latest OS update, the battery drain stopped! Approx 2 days ago, my battery started to drain again. This morning at 9am, I was at 100%, no use of my playbook until this post. Current battery lvl: 39%!!
Did something change the past couple days?? - 11-15-12, 10:31 PM #13
Just a thought,
On cell phones and the like (heck any portable electrical device) I've noticed battery life being affected when:
A: Battery has been replaced.
B: When a new firmware is flashed to the device.
Both scenarios affect how the calibration of the battery charging profile, and it takes several charge /discharge cycles for the profile to be re-built.
So far as any 3rd party apps, ditto.
After a hard reboot yesterday the battery life seems to have returned to approximately 10 hours of use from 100% to 37%;. The tablet has WiFi and Bluetooth enabled except when Airplane Mode is active between use. The battery health shows 100% and the battery voltage has slowly decreased from 4.00 V to 3.69 V. I spent a few hours this evening editing an internal wiki and have been browsing various websites. Hopefully, I can get 24 hours of usage from th tablet before a recharge is necessary; prior versions of BlackBerry Tablet OS allowed upwards of 48 hours of active use.
Hard to use my Playbook without running 2 watts which gives 10 hours with the 19.95 watt-hr battery. Usually more like six hours. Forty-eight hours of active use between recharges . Wow. That battery must be on steroids.
The Battery Guru app is essential for checking power use in the PB. Also use an Android app killer. I hae found Advanced App Manager(free in BB app world to be useful for checking up on those sneaky Android Apps. Also Ghost Commander is useful particularly with Android files. - 11-16-12, 07:15 AM #16
Yes, it seems a previous version of BlackBerry Tablet OS did give my battery extra life but the current system topped out at just under 30 hours before a recharge was necessary. I will keep an eye on the performance during the next few weeks. Oh, the 48 hours of active use was not continuous and included time when Bluetooth and WiFi were disabled. Since I use a Bluetooth keyboard and WiFi frequently because my BlackBerry PlayBook has become my ultra-portable notebook computer, I need the battery to last at least 12 hours (Bluetooth and WiFI enabled) without recharge.
Re: Battery Life OS 188.8.131.528
Had good battery life before 1088. Had reduction in battery life after. Did a security wipe and restore for the first time and system returned back to normal. So far anyway. I'm happy. I only did it to see how much memory I gain. Turns out it was about 400Mb.
For the best typing experience only one brand does it the best. That brand is BlackBerry.
BlackBerry. Nobody likes a typo.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The South Carolina Senate has overridden 46 of Gov. Nikki Haley's 81 budget vetoes.
Senators sustained eight more of the governor's vetoes Thursday. Altogether, lawmakers upheld 35 of the items Haley struck from the spending plan, striking about $5 million from the state's $6.7 billion spending plan.
The vetoes overridden by the Senate included saving the South Carolina Arts Commission and the Sea Grant Consortium, which are frequent Haley targets.
The Senate agreed with the governor and removed a $1 million item for a visitor's center in Orangeburg and $453,000 for lights near a tennis center on Daniel Island.
Many of the votes were close. Seven times senators sustained a veto, then came back and voted to override it.
Legislators will now go home until January.

Jewish terrorist actions are performed on a much smaller scale, and are limited to the Near East. However, the sentiment behind those actions appears to be similar to the sentiment governing attacks by followers of other religons.
Author Karen Armstrong notes 1 that in 1980 Rabbi Israel Hess published an article entitled "Genocide: A Commandment of the Torah" in the official magazine of the Bar-Ilan University. In it he argued that
"... the Palestinians were to the Jews what darkness was to light, and that they deserved the same fate as the Amalekites."
This is apparently a reference to 1 Samuel 15:3 where the ancient Hebrews were told:
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
King Saul did God�s bidding.
Among the best known cases of Jewish terrorism is the 1994 machine-gunning of Moslem worshippers at a mosque in the town of Hebron. The terrorist killed 29 people and wounded about 150 before being killed himself. The killer, Baruch Goldstein, was an American medical doctor and a devoted follower of Rabbi Meier Kahane. He became a hero to the extremists. The marble plaque on his grave reads: "To the holy Baruch Goldstein, who gave his life for the Jewish people, the Torah, and the Nation of Israel."
Among the lesser known cases are:

The Edsels were an American doo-wop group active during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The name of the group was originally The Essos, after the oil company, but was changed to match the then-new Ford automobile, the Edsel. The Edsels recorded over 25 songs and had multiple performances on Dick Clark's American Bandstand. The Edsels were one of the few doo-wop groups to sign with a major record label, as most groups of that era found success with small independent labels. Before their national hit "Rama Lama Ding Dong," songs like "What Brought Us Together", "Bone Shaker Joe" and "Do You Love Me" helped the group land a major recording contract with Capitol Records in 1961.
Today the group is known almost exclusively for their song "Rama Lama Ding Dong", written by lead singer George "Wydell" Jones Jr. The song was recorded in 1957 and released, under the erroneous title "Lama Rama Ding Dong," in 1958. The song did not become popular until 1961, after a disc jockey in New York City began to play it as a segue from the Marcels' doo-wop version of "Blue Moon". The song eventually became popular throughout the US, peaking at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The group continues to perform today. In addition, James Reynolds performs with his five sons Jeff, Baron, Patrick, Chris and Carlise (as the Reynolds Brothers).[1] That group released an album, The Reynolds Brothers, featuring songs written by James and fellow Edsels member George Jones.
Songwriter George Jones died in September 2008.[2]
Marshall Sewell died of esophageal cancer on June 5, 2013 at the age of 75.[2]

Cheddar Green Onion Biscuits
What a week! We started out this week finishing our taxes. I know, it seems like we cut it pretty close, but we've actually been working on them for quite some time. After sending over some checks to good ole Uncle Sam, I was in the kitchen all day creating some fun summer desserts. Summer isn't quite here, but as many of you know with blogging, we bloggers need to be prepared and ahead of the "holiday" schedule. For example, when everyone is preparing for Thanksgiving, were whipping us Christmas treats to share on the blog. I know, it's a pretty crazy thing, but you get used to it :).
The rest of the week was filled with meeting up with good friends, a doctor's appointment, and then packing and preparing the car to be shipped to Kentucky. It was a full week, but of course I still manage to do the normal things, like blogging, working out, and shopping!
Whenever I have these busy weeks, it takes more effort to get in the kitchen and cook dinner. But I always seem to make it happen. You would think that I would only make simple dinners, but I often find myself cooking more complicated dinners on busy days. I know, I know, that really doesn't make sense, but it's just what happens.
One night I made a smaller Thanksgiving Dinner. It included my favorite Cornbread Apple and Sausage Stuffing, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and these Cheddar and Green Onion Biscuits. After making the stuffing and sweet potatoes, I knew something was missing. The dinner didn't seem complete. Yes, I know I didn't have a major protein either, but there was sausage in the stuffing and I thought it counted. So, I quickly (and I mean like really, really quick) whipped up these biscuits.
They are one of my favorite biscuits recipes that I got from Alton Brown on the Food Network. But to change it up, I made them a little more special by adding Cheddar Cheese and Green Onion. Just as always, they were soft and fluffy, and the added savory additions really pumped up the flavor. Steve said they were his new favorite biscuit flavor!

Cheddar Green Onion Biscuits
For Printable Recipe, Click here!
Makes: About 12 Biscuits
2 cups All Purpose Flour
4 teaspoons Baking Powder
¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Cold
1 cup Milk
½ cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
3 Tablespoons Green Onion (or Chives), Chopped
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line 1 baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into ½-inch cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture and, using your hands, rub the butter into the flour. Continue squeezing the butter into the flour until the butter is no larger than the size of a pea.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the milk into the mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add a little bit more milk at a time. Carefully fold the cheese and the green onions into the dough, being sure to fully incorporate it.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Lightly dust the top and the sides of the dough with flour. Using your hands, fold the dough over each other multiple times, at least 5 times. Flatten the dough until it is at most 1-inch thick.
Using a round 2-inch biscuit cutter, cut rounds of dough and carefully place them on the prepared baking sheet. Continue cutting out round biscuits until you have run out of dough. Be sure to gather up the scraps of dough and cut those in round biscuits as well.
Place the biscuits in the oven and bake until they turn a light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet until warm and then serve.
These last up to 5 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
Recipe adapted from Alton Brown on Food Network.

New Slate Of NY Education Forums Scheduled
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — New York Education Commissioner John King Jr. has announced a series of 12 forums on the new Common Core learning standards and other reforms.
King announced the forums Friday. He's faced criticism since an earlier decision to cancel a slate of PTA-arranged appearances after one in Poughkeepsie last week evolved into a shouting match.
King says future forums will include Board of Regents members and will be moderated by state legislators in school districts around the state.
The first will be in Albany Oct. 24.
King's been criticized all week by parents, teachers and lawmakers for canceling the first forums. They were meant to address the state's implementation of the more difficult learning standards and the state's controversial decision to immediately use them as the basis for standardized tests.

Private Law and Competition Policy in the Global EconomyGralf-Peter CalliessUniversity of Bremen - Faculty of Law Jens MertensUniversity of Bremen - Faculty of Law June 2, 2009 Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies, Vol. 18, No. 2, 2011 Abstract: In this paper we criticize the so-called 'more economic approach' to European competition law for its disregard of the importance of a functional system of private law. The more economic approach presumes that vertical integration is an economically efficient governance-mechanism. This assumption is based on the availability of market governance as an alternative mode of governance for organizing transactions. Since the enforcement of cross-border contracts by state-organized systems of private law, however, is insufficient, 'make or buy'-decisions in international commerce are prejudiced against at arms' length transactions on markets. Consequently international transactions are integrated vertically into firm-structures to a higher degree than it is economically sensible for comparable domestic transactions, which take place in the shadow of an effective domestic system of private law. The resulting over-integration of world markets leads to reduced competitive incentives and high bureaucratic costs. Contrary to the fundamental assumptions of the 'more economic approach', vertical integration does, therefore, not per se foster consumer welfare in the global economy. Being an economically inefficient reaction to the deficits in state protection of cross-border contracts, this excess of cross-border vertical integration, however, cannot be countered by a strict world antitrust law, but only by establishing legal certainty in the enforcement of cross-border contracts. Thus, international private law policy currently seems to be the instrument of choice in promoting competition in the global economy.

dc.description.abstract | This research examines the planning and design of a web-based tutorial created to assist community-college faculty members in better understanding approaches to student assessment. Kauai Community College has undergone a significant revision of assessment practices, and as the assessment program has been refined, on-going professional development workshops have been conducted to keep faculty members informed on best practices in assessment. Due to limited resources, face-to-face workshops cannot be offered often enough to fit the schedules of all faculty members. This instructional design project involved the development of a web-based assessment module using DemoCreator that is accessible to faculty anytime, anywhere. The module described in this paper focuses on the reporting of assessment data. Qualitative data was collected from interviews with participating faculty members to determine what issues arose in the use of a web-based assessment module. | en_US |

Students of Japanese studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Japanese textbooks – for example Ocean Devil: The life and legend of George Hogg by [James MacManus], and Shantung Compound: The Story of Men and Women Under Pressure by [Langdon Gilkey] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Japanese is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Japanese books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Japanese classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

Since launching the first textbook rental site in 2006, BookRenter has never wavered from our mission to make education more affordable for all students. Every day, we focus on delivering students the best prices, the most flexible options, and the best service on earth. On March 13, 2012 BookRenter.com, Inc. formally changed its name to Rafter, Inc. We are still the same company and the same people, only our corporate name has changed.

Live Wednesday the 4th at 2pm: BRUSHFIRE STANKGRASS
By Martin Anderson
There aren't a whole lot of bluegrass-inspired bands that embrace electronic music, to the point where they've performed at Asheville's Moog Music Factory. In fact who knows, Brushfire Stankgrass might be the only one. Their earlier album One for the Salamanders was a regional favorite among WNCW listeners, and their new release Microclimates has what it takes to top that one. The boys return and will join Joe Kendrick live Wednesday at 2.

The Minot High School girls soccer team dominated possession through the final 20 minutes of Monday's West Region game against Mandan.
But a muffed penalty kick with less than nine minutes remaining kept the Majettes (2-3-1) off the scoreboard and the Braves (2-2-2) escaped with a scoreless draw at Optimist Soccer Complex.
Minot sophomore Malena Lennon took the penalty kick after freshman Lydia Frei was dropped in the 18-yard box on a hip check from Mandan sophomore defender Madysen Zander. Lennon eyed the lower left corner, but struck too low and lofted the ball for an easy save by Mandan junior goalkeeper Rachel Ford.

Minot High School sophomore Teasha Hughes battles Mandan junior goalkeeper Rachel Ford in the second half of a 0-0 West Region draw Monday at Optimist Soccer Complex.
"It was a great opportunity for us," Minot coach Matt Pfau said. "If I had to have her take it again, I would. She's our best one. She just, I think, hit the ground first or something."
Ford mishandled the ball on numerous occasions, but managed the box well and denied the Majettes' furious attack late in the game.
Minot sophomore forward Taryn Love controlled the left side of the field and created much of the home side's scoring opportunities in the second half. Neither team had quality opportunities in the first half and MHS earned all six of its corner kicks in the second half.
"As soon as I did catch a break, I mean, I just couldn't get it across and in the middle," said Love, who sent one corner kick behind the goal.
With less than five minutes remaining, Love eluded a defender and crossed the ball into the six-yard box. Ford fumbled the delivery as MHS sophomore Teasha Hughes closed in. The ball was loose for about three seconds with Hughes and Ford tangled and a Mandan defender was able to clear it.
"That was one I thought was going in for sure," Love said. "I don't know. It's just hard with a team like that, like when they're so aggressive. I mean, they can shut us down, but we played hard."
Minot has struggled to score this season and has only two goals outside of a lopsided 4-0 win against overmatched Jamestown.
Minot sophomore goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stenberg earned her third shutout of the season and matched Ford's abilities off the goal lines. Both players foiled opposing attacks by meeting through balls near the top of the boxes and limiting close-range shots. Stenberg finished with six saves and Ford made nine.
Ford saw more action as Minot took three corner kicks in a two-minute span early in the second half and earned two more in the final minute.
"(Ford) plays huge for us back there," Mandan coach Jennifer Kessler said. "She's our anchor in the back and our defensive line is really tough. They come ready game after game and good thing 'cause they're saving us here."
Minot beat Mandan 1-0 earlier in the season, but the Braves have eight points to Minot's seven in the West Region standings. Both teams have four games remaining and Minot is in fifth place. The top four from each region make the state tournament.
Minot hosts first-place Bismarck St. Mary's (5-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The Saints won the first meeting 2-1.

Agriculture deputy secretary showed the interactive web-based document and map
Today Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan highlighted the Know Your Famer, Know Your Food (KYF) Compass, an interactive web-based document and map highlighting USDA support for local and regional food projects and successful producer, business and community case studies. Merrigan highlighted the new tool at the Natural Products Expo West to showcase USDA's work over the past three years. She emphasized how local and regional food systems across the country create additional economic opportunities for farmers, ranchers and food entrepreneurs, expand healthy food access and meet growing customer demand. The Compass was unveiled last week in a webinar with Merrigan and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Every day USDA is working to strengthen American agriculture, which helps drive job growth and supports farm-family income," said Merrigan. "The KYF Compass highlights how USDA's support for local and regional food systems has brought additional opportunities to our country's farmers, ranchers, processors, distributors and food entrepreneurs. The stories and maps in the Compass underscore how diverse and innovative American agriculture can be." The KYF Compass is a digital guide to USDA resources related to local and regional food systems. The Compass consists of an interactive U.S. map showing local and regional food projects and an accompanying narrative documenting the results of this work through case studies, photos and video content. The KYF Compass organizes USDA's work on local and regional food systems into seven thematic areas. Among the themes covered on the map and in the narrative portion of the Compass are: local food infrastructure, farm to institution, careers in agriculture, stewardship and local foods, local meat and poultry, healthy food access and local food knowledge. "By encouraging all Americans to know their farmer, USDA is helping consumers learn more about agriculture and the people producing your food," said Merrigan. "The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative helps farmers and ranchers tap into a vibrant, growing market opportunity. And it's also stimulating a broader national conversation about where our food comes from and how important agriculture is to our country." A large selection of USDA-supported programs and projects is also visible on the KYF Map, which can be displayed by theme, program, or recipient type. Both the KYF Compass and map will be regularly refreshed with new data and case studies. In September 2009, USDA launched the Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative to coordinate USDA resources and expertise on local and regional food systems. The KYF Compass documents the ways in which USDA has collaborated across its 17 agencies and additional offices, enhanced transparency and met congressional mandates from the 2008 Farm Bill on local and regional food. KYF is not a separate USDA program or agency. It is a management initiative to increase inter-agency coordination. For more information and to join the national conversation, please visit the 'Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food' website, at www.usda.gov/knowyourfarmer. You can also join the national conversation on Twitter by using the hash tag #KYF2.

Seasons of Love follows forty years in the lives of two men, Sidney Wilks and Grady Nash, from the Spring of their relationship when love is new and shiny through to the Winter of their partnership when thirty years of being a couple has begun to lose its sheen.
On the day of his mother's funeral, ten-year old Sidney Wilks is silently comforted by the presence of one man, ranch hand Grady Nash. Little did Sidney know that Nash would become the only stable figure in his life for the next forty years.
Years later, after an evening of typical college fun, Sidney is involved in a serious car wreck. It's Nash who once again steps in to rescue Sidney and nurse him back to health.
While trying to get close enough to Sidney to help him heal, Nash's feelings begin to change towards the twenty-one year old. For him, loving Sidney was nothing new, but when his body begins to desire the small man, Nash is forced to re-evaluate his protective instincts.
What kind of future could the two men possibly have? Nash's life is centred on horses and cattle, while Sidney has dreams of escaping the small-town Kansas life to build skyscrapers. How can two men who want opposite lifestyles come to a compromise, or will Nash be forced to allow Sidney to spread his wings without him?
Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series as all four stories follow the lives of Sidney and Grady.
April 1974
Ten-year old Sidney Wilks poked a stick into the ant hill just to see the insects scatter. He dug the point of his pretend sword into one of the large-bodied ants and grinned. It wasn't a nice thing to do, but he wasn't feeling nice at the moment.
The front door opened and Sidney's father, Jackson, stepped out onto the porch. "Get out of the dirt."
"Yes, sir." Sidney stood, before brushing the dust from his pants.
"If you're gonna stay out here, sit on the porch," Jackson ordered.
"Yes, sir." Sidney sat on the end of the porch and let his feet dangle over the side. Good manners were a requirement in the Wilks' house, but inside his head Sidney was busy giving his dad a piece of his mind. Sometimes he wished a big ole bug would crawl up his dad's nose. The image almost drew a giggle from him. Almost.
If he'd had to lose a parent to cancer, why couldn't it have been his father? Yeah, it was a hateful thing to think about, but Sidney had never got on well with his dad. His mom, on the other hand, had been his entire world.
Elizabeth Running Elk-Wilks had been one of the strongest people he'd ever known. She was like a superhero. Not because she wore a cape or anything. Heck, most of the time she'd worn a big plaid shirt with a floppy leather hat she called Old Ben.
Sidney had thought his mom was indestructible. "Damn cancer," he cursed. Before the ovarian cancer had ravaged her already-thin frame, taking over the rest of her body, Beth had worked right alongside the men on the Running E Ranch. She was up at four in the morning and went to bed well after Sidney. Somehow, in between, she'd managed to make her son feel like the most special boy alive.
Sidney kicked back with his heel against the lattice that surrounded the porch. Now that she was gone, he knew he'd never again be special to anyone, certainly not his father. His dad always made him feel like a disappointment. His mom had understood that he wasn't meant to be a rancher, but his father still hadn't given up hope.
It wasn't that his dad was out and out mean. He was just...hard on him. Sidney supposed his dad thought that would make him tough or something. He snorted to himself. Even at ten, he knew he'd never be like his dad.
He lay back on the porch and rested his head on his clasped hands. Staring up at the light blue painted ceiling, he wondered what the kids at school would say when he returned. His father had kept him home for the last week. There were things to be done, his dad had said. Sidney still didn't know what those things were, though. The only job he'd been given was to box up his mom's clothes. He still didn't understand why he'd had to do it so soon after her death.
Actually, now that he thought about it, Sidney was glad he'd been assigned the chore. It had given him a chance to keep a few of his mom's clothes. He hadn't kept many things, but there were a few items he'd hidden in the back of his closet.
Sidney heard the screen door slap shut and tilted his head back. He looked at Mrs O'Dwyer. She looked upside down. Funny.
"Sidney, wouldn't you like to have a nice plate of food?"
"No thank you, Ma'am." There were too many people in his house. They all seemed to think a piece of cake or a chicken leg would make him feel better that his mom was down in the ground. They were a bunch of buttheads.
Mrs O'Dwyer made some kind of tsking noise and returned to the house to hang out with the other adults. Sidney's dad had told him it said a lot about his mom that so many people wanted to pay their respects after the funeral. Sidney wasn't really sure what it said. Maybe the restaurants in town were closed, because everyone who came seemed to be hungry.
Sidney rolled to his side. He knew his suit was getting all dirty but he doubted he'd ever wear it again. He noticed a small bubble in the grey paint of the old floorboard. Reaching out, he ran his short fingernail over the bubble until it popped free, leaving the weathered wood exposed. He wondered how old the board was. Had his grandpa, Harry Running-Elk, built it?
"I wish you were here, Grandpa," he whispered.
A tear dripped across his nose and onto the porch. He quickly wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his coat before glancing around to make sure no one was around. There were quite a few cowboys who lived on the ranch, and the last thing Sidney wanted was for someone to tell his dad.
